Herb Garden – Catch up

Posted on 22nd July 2009 in Food, Gardening, Sustainably grown

     I’m a little behind on updating about my lovely herb garden. It is thriving! I have rosemary, sage, margoram, thyme, oregano, lemon verbena, fennel, chives, basil, borage, and two kinds of mint.

     They have now grown enough for me to use them in cooking! I’m so proud of my little herbs – I feel like a mother. Haha.

     Here is my “baby” a couple weeks after planting. It’s so cute!

     The big one in the back is the borage. It is the fastest growing herb I have. The funny thing is I use it the least. At some point I will make a post about it – I use the flowers in tea, it’s good. More experimentation will occur over the rest of the summer. From what I’ve read, it will stick around and spread crazily. I must learn how to use it well. One good thing about it is my dad’s bees love it. So honey for us!
